Sadly it seems they don't have 1-photon sensitive ccd. The article says:

“We didn’t invent a new laser or a new detector,” notes Kirmani. Instead, he explains, the team applied a new imaging algorithm that can be used with a standard, off-the-shelf photon detector.

They are sending single photon pulses of light repeatedly to the target position until they managed to capture one and then continue to scan the next "pixel" of the target. So this wont help with any of those things you listed.

Are you really eating more calories per day or do you just believe doing so. Did you keep track what you ate before your low-carb diet? I was on Atkins and noticed that I actually had trouble getting to 2000+kcals per day when eating stuff that was near zero carb. With high carb foods it is way too easy to reach 2000, 3000 or even 4000 kcals per day.

Too bad that FMRI isn't that accurate either:
"In 2007 on episode 93 of the TV program Mythbusters, the three members of the build team attempted to fool a non-automated fMRI test done by Cephos Corporation. Although two of the members were unsuccessful at fooling Cephos, the third member was able to successfully fool Steve Laken of Cephos, according to this member by keeping his mind in constant activity. The one out of three failure rate suggested that fMRI-based lie detection required further development"

They would need to revoke more than just tax breaks. That is one valid way to fix the situation, just remove marriage from the laws, all of them. I wonder which one would upset the community more, adding a new group to get access to already existing laws and benefits or removing them all?
